Orchestra violin 1, violin 2, violin 3, viola, cello, bass - Grade 2 SKU: CF.YAS234
Composed by Erica Donahoe. Yas. Set of Score and Parts. Duration 1 minute, 40 seconds. Carl Fischer Music #YAS234. Published by Carl Fischer Music (CF.YAS234). ISBN 9781491164860. UPC: 680160923779. Key: D minor.
This piece was written as an introduction to the key of D minor and to the low second finger in the upper strings. Hopefully your students will enjoy the dark melody and feel the frenzy of the driving eighth notes, especially in the lower strings. The orchestra passes through the eye of the storm in mm. 17-39, but tension builds again in m. 40 as the original melody returns for a stormy finish!
